Top o’ the mornin’ to ye, and a grand St. Patrick’s Day it be! I know originally we wouldn’t be stirrin’ the pot o’ mischief—us leprechauns swore to keep our tricks tucked safe beneath the rainbow’s end, guardin’ our gold from meddlin’ hands. But the winds o’ the Emerald Isle whispered otherwise, and the ol’ St. Paddy himself must’ve nudged us to share a bit o’ chaos with ye mortals! So, we’ve conjured up a wee spontaneous event fer ye—but beware, ‘tis laced with our famous trickery, and frustration may be yer companion! This mischief’ll be runnin’ fer the next 24 hours, so ye’ve got ‘til the shamrock moon rises again to join the fun!

Special Explodin’ Barrels, enchanted by me own mischievous hands, be sproutin’ like shamrocks all o’er the Town o’ Paws. They’ll vanish in a puff o’ green smoke after a mere minute, so ye’d best be quick! Use these barrels, if ye dare, to try yer luck at blastin’ open one o’ the two ancient wells ‘round Paws—one nigh the Brit Bridge, the other by Colleen the Gypsy’s camp. These wells, ye see, be hidin’ secrets older than me pot o’ gold!

Crack one open, and ye might just snag a Puzzle Chest, brimmin’ with rare leprechaun loot—trinkets and treasures straight from the end o’ the rainbow. But mind ye, ‘tis no easy feat, for we leprechauns love a good riddle and a better laugh! So grab yer shillelagh, chase the luck o’ the Irish, and may the green winds o’ fortune blow yer way!

🏰 A Royal Proclamation from Lord Reginald of Britannia 🏰

Loyal citizens, hear ye!

In an effort to cleanse our fair realm of both crime and unseemly waste, Lord Reginald proudly announces a new rehabilitation initiative for the wayward souls of Britannia. Those whose hands have been stained with blood now have a chance to cleanse their sins—both metaphorically and literally!

  • The Program: Convicted murderers may reduce their criminal standing by performing an essential public service: collecting 50 pieces of feces from the streets of any town within Britannia. A noble act of penance, this will not only aid our sanitation efforts but also grant these lost souls the opportunity to reclaim their honor.

  • The Reward: Upon successful completion, one murder charge shall be forgiven, allowing the reformed to walk a step closer toward redemption in the eyes of Britannia. This task may be undertaken once every 24 hours.

  • Where to Begin: Those seeking to participate should seek out Lord Reginald in the town of Paws and pledge themselves to this task.

Britannia thrives on justice — but it also values redemption. Let this be a lesson that even the most wretched can find their way back to the light!

Signed,

🏰 Lord Reginald of Britannia

White Wyrm Improvements

The White Wyrm, a once-feared magical beast, has struggled to compete with Dragons due to its weaker overall performance. In this update, we've enhanced its spellcasting capabilities to make it a powerful and distinct caster pet, while keeping its core stats intact.

  • White Wyrm's now casts spells from circle 1-7.
  • Increased casting frequency
  • Health pool boosted to match dragons


7th Mar 2025 patchnote

  • Faction players are now restricted from accessing the safe, no-combat area on top of Britain Bank West.
  • This change aims to ensure balanced gameplay by limiting potential safe zone exploitation.


7th Mar 2025 patchnote

  • The decay timer for murder counts is now more punishing initially, scaling down as your murder count increases.

  • New decay thresholds:

    • Murder Count ≥ 100: 6 hours (360 minutes)
    • Murder Count ≥ 50: 12 hours (720 minutes)
    • Murder Count ≥ 10: 24 hours (1440 minutes)
    • Murder Count ≥ 1: Default decay timer
  • These changes are designed to impose harsher penalties for smaller murder counts (making it tougher early on) while gradually reducing decay times for higher counts.


7th Mar 2025 patchnote

We’ve revamped the disarm mechanics for thieves! Here’s how it works now:

When a thief attempts to disarm their victim, the system will first target the victim’s weapon. If the weapon is insured or blessed, it will be skipped. The thief will then randomly attempt to disarm an item from any other equipped slot, including Head, Chest, Legs, Left Hand, Cloak, Necklace, Mask, and Ring. If an item in a targeted slot is insured or blessed, the system will skip it and move on to another slot until an eligible item is found or all options are exhausted.

If the thief successfully disarms an item from their victim, they can immediately follow up with a blind steal attempt. This steal will automatically take the disarmed item, giving thieves a rewarding payoff for a successful disarm.


4th Mar 2025 patchnote

As part of our ongoing efforts to make hunting more fun and challenging, we’ve updated another key area:

Hedge Maze

  • The undead that once roamed these corridors have been driven out.
  • Daemons, Hell Hounds, Fire Gargoyles, and Fire Imps now hold dominion here.
  • At the maze’s center, the fearsome Balron—among the most powerful daemons—has returned to Sosaria.

We hope you enjoy these changes and look forward to hearing your feedback as we continue to improve the game world!
